As usual, my posts are waaaayyyyy outdated…. But work comes first when my career ain’t a full time blogger…. I’m writing this entry on 29th June 2011 about a day on 22nd December 2011, when I first touched down in Europe… With loads of thanks to my beloved boyfriend back den, and Fiance today, I finally had a chance to move out of Asia…
Curious to know how my Paris fiance’s home look like? Here is the simple three storey house with a basement… Its winter… So pretty much no greenery except for the coniferous trees…
Did I mention I think my fiance looks really suave in winter clothing? With sub zero temperatures, I don’t think Winter was exactly top on my favourite season list…
Loads of interesting stuff in the neighbourhood… But being the piggy me, my favourite place would be the patissieries and boulangeries….
Baked Meringue for sale… Its just alot of sugar… Good to look, but probably not something I wanna eat…
I love the display of gourmet chocolates….
Pastries and macarons… Yummy….Napolean in the centre… Yummy… Didn’t buy that though…
I love the tart aux fraises (left: Strawberry Tart)…My Yohan loves the Chocolate eclairs in the centre….
Check out the chocolate coated cream puffs in the rustic decorations…
Don’t we love the glass candy jars?
The City hall where my future parents in law had the marriage… Our city hall leh? Raffles City?
This was just a street away from Yohan’s home… Not sure why there are horses there… Either a tourist attraction of a Christmas event?
Garbage bags provided for people to clear up after their doggies when their doggies leave their crap on the side walk.. Unfortunately, many people don’t use them, so I spend 90% of my walking time checking out for doggy poo on the floor…
My parents in law… witht he dogs…
Think I took this picture back then because I love the big terrace…
This is a residential gate.. A little huge?
Precious Papillion above, Fifille
And the naughty Jack Russell (not my favourite type of dog… A little too hyper for my liking.. Especially the male ones).. His name is Hector…
Our first breakfast in France… Yohan’s favourite Pain au chocolat, and my favourite Croissants…. Buttery goodness in the pastry… Yummy…Baguette anyone? The national bread of FRance?
Actually the Baguette is really different from the one we have in Singapore…. Also, the French never ever cut their baguette with knives… They just tear the bread apart with their hands… Actually the better term would be to break the bread apart…Special bread for lunch.. Its a huge loaf of Pannetone looking bread with its centre cut out to make an assortment of sandwich and fitted right back in!
Apple cobbler with peach ice cream… Yummy!
The Paris city hall (above) and the Louvre (below). In case you don’t know, the Mona Lisa is in this building…
The bastille… They have loads of this structures erected all over Paris and roads going round it like a roundabout…
Ferris Wheel… Traditional, but not as big as the Singapore flyer..
The overrated Champs Elysees (in my opinion).. Its just a street… Really….
Many girls’ best friend, Louis Vuitton… Think that is the main shop…
The L’arc de triumph..
Its actually much larger than what people think…
La Tour Eiffel, aka the Eiffel Tower… Not as big as I expected on first look.. Maybe bacause Iw as looking at it from far?
Dinner… A soup called "Port aux Feuille” (Not sure about the spelling) Not my favourite dish for the day.. Unlike most soup, this has a lot of fats!!!!
